When did London become the capital of England?
Originally, the capital of England was Winchester, but King William the Conquerer and several of his successors gradually changed that. When the Palace of Westminster (near central London) was completed, under Henry III, it contained a section where Parliament could meet. The palace and its London location thus became very important to the operation of the British government; for example, in 1295, Edward I summoned what came to be called the "Model Parliament," a legislative body with more powers than previously permitted by the monarch. By the time of King Edward III, circa 1327, London was generally regarded as the capital city.

What were living habits like in the 1500s in London?
London was still very small in 1500. During the medieval period London grew up in two different parts. The nearby up-river town of Westminster was the Royal capital and centre of government, whereas the City of London was the centre of commerce and trade. The area between them did not become entirely urbanised until 1600. Life in London must have been similar to life throught England in its other towns.
